CRISP'S HESITATION.
He Wanted to be Chairman OF the
Pacific Railroads Committee.

He Wanted to be Chairman OF the
Pacific Railroads Committee.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Mr. Crisp, of
Georgia, had very good reason for trying
to get out of the craftsmanship of the Com
mittee on Elections when the caucus put it
upon him yesterday in his desire to take
the craftsmanship of the Committee on
Pacific Railroads, which he was almost
certain TO get and for which he is so well
prepared He knows more about the
Pacific railroads than any other Democrat
except Mr.. Outhwaite, of Ohio, who
has also been placed on the
Elections Committee There is some talk of
giving MIR. Crisp both chairmanships. The
probability is that Mr.. Outwaite will now
be made chairman Of the Pacific Railroads
Committee. Mr.. Turner, of Georgia,
former chairman of the Elections Commit
tee, will go either on the Ways and Means
or Judiciary Committee.

ENGLISH CATHOLICS.
An Address to Mgr. Persico in Circula-
ton for Signatures.

LONDON, Dec. 13.-A9 address to be
signed by many English Catholics will be
presented to Mgr. Persico, who was charged
by the Pope to make a personal investiga-
ton of affairs in Ireland, assuring him of
their devotion to the Holy See, and express
ing hope that his mission will result IN in
ducing the Pope to assist in obtaining for
Ireland fulfillment Of her national aspira-

adopted a course of bitter and uncompro-
missing hostility towards Ireland. The ad-

0rard and other prominent gentlemen, and

Life Lost in the Fire.

CHICAGO, Dec 13.-Late last night it was
rumored that the great fire in Phelps, Dodge
& Palmer's boot and shoe Ecuse was attend
ed by loss of life. 1t is said that at the time
the flames burst from the building several
persons were at work on the fifth floor, and
the rapid spread of the flames must have
cut off all means Of escape. The watchman
of the building is missing. The origin Of
the fire is a mystery. After the flames had
made good deal OF headway, loud explo-
sion was heard. Fire Marshal Swench
saws he thinks it was q hot air explosion.

Forty-fve Rounds Were Fought Before
Twenty Spectators.


NFw YORK, Dec. 13.--At the third at
tempt the Jack Dempsey-Johnny Reagan
prize fight for the middle weight champion
ship, took place to-day up the Hudson river.
There had been given out report early in
the day that the affair was of FOR the third
time, but this was only a ''stal." The men
met and battled for forty-fve rounds with
kid gloves, under the London prize ring
rules, and the fight was won by
Dempsey, who outgeneralled Reagan
from the start. Reagan stood up
with remarkable gameness, but in the forty
fifth round, after the men had been engaged
for an hour and nine minutes, Reagan's
seconds seeing that he had no possible
chance of winning threw up the sponge.
Reagan had suffered severely, while Demp-
sey was comparatively free from marks OF
the combat. Frank Stevenson was referee
and only about twenty people were present.
The stakes were 81 600

TIE RNI6Hrs or LABoR.

Many papers, especially those I'M
friendly to the knights of Labor, are |
just now indulging in invidious re-
marks regarding the organization, as
serting that it has outlived its useful
ness and is now in its decadence and
day by day is growing less in member
ship and influence. In proof of this
they refer to the great losses in its
ranks alleged to have occurred in the
east, especially in New York, Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut. They also
state that in most every instance where
it has engaged in any great conflict
with capital, it has come out poor
second best, and from this fact deduct
the inference that it has lost much of
its former strength, as well as the good
qualities which were by them at one
time admitted.
This entire argument from beginning
to end is mere bosh. The~K. of L.
never since its organization was in
condition to do as much good and effec-
tive service for those for whose
advantage it was first formed as
now. That it has lost in numbers in
the east may be true. That it has been
defeated in several immense conflicts
with capital may also be admitted. But
when it is asserted that it has outlived
its usefulness and is now in its decad-
ence, a grand mistake is made, for
never was it in better condition to sub
serve the ends for which it was organ
lied than just now, on the eve of
national election.
BY the very losses in number re-
ferred to above has it gained strength.
For the losses were in nearly all cases
of such character as to give strength
to those who remained. Who for a
moment viii claim that the cutting
loose from the anarchist element in
Chicago will not benefit the true work
ing manp
Again, the very excuses of these
anarchists have helped to educate the
members of the Knights of Labor in
the theories and teachings promul-
gated by their great leader, who has
always preached conservatism in all
things possible.
Their defeats even have added to
their strength, inasmuch as they have
taught caution, and they have learned
by experience that the victory is not
always to the strong, especially when
due consideration of right and wrong
has not been given regard to. Fol-
it must be admitted that in some cases
their actions have been both hasty and
inconsiderate, and that they have suf.
fered defeat in consequence thereof.
AS we have said above, these very
defeats have added to their strength
inasmuch as they are not now nearly
so readily led astray by fiery and ire
spOnsible leaders, as was the case il
the earlier stages of their experiences
That the knights of Labor is still do
ing much good in some quarters under
the wise leadership of Mr.. Powderly
we think is fact, and that most of TIT
unfriendly talk INDUCED in by some
newspapers is uncalled for, we alst
think is a fact, and is unjust as well a

10. TIE POOR INDIAN.

And now the usual farcial termina-
become apparent, and because the red
marauders have succeeded in getting
back to their reservation, in steps the
government authorities from the east,
who never saw an Indian except in a
Wild Bill show, and say the poor Indi-
ans have been imposed upon, and the
dear innocents did not know better
than to leave their reservation and go
on a ''peaceable' hunt among the set
tiers of Colorado.
Even the military authorities-some
of them-side with the red skins. And
the reason is apparent. 1t is explained
by the exclamation of Colorow when
he found his bucks falling dead in their
tracks all aroun'l him. His eXclama-
ton was: ''D-d cowboys fool Utes;
put on soldier clothes.''
West Point kids may be very brave
and first class so far as military tactics
are concerned, but for Indian fighting,
one cowboy or pTainsman of experience
is worth half dozen soldiers who
fight according to rule.
The nonsensical, fool idea, too, of
restricting the pursuers of these red
demons from crossing an imaginary
state line because they are simply Citi-
Lens of Colorado, is on par with the
entire method in vogue of treating the
reds, who are always petted and pam
pered and fed and made much of after
each successful raid has been ended by
a surrender to United States troops.
The language of Agent Byrnes in his
Introductory remarks to his dispatch of
the Goth inst, "Colorow and his follow
ers are now at the agency. They say
they are not mad and don't want to
fight, is very expressive.
But couple of days ago COlorow said:
me want big fight. Me don't want
little fight
And if the government will take
away these troops and wipe out all i'm
aginary state lines for few months,
we will guarantee that the cowboys
and settlers will settle all the troubles
i'll short order, and that the lesson will
he one which will be remembered as
long as the one given them some few
years ago by those same Colorado PEG
pie, commonly referred to as the ''Chit-
tenden massacre

UnIouIabor meeting.

at a meeting of the union labor
county committee held at Assembly
hall in consultation with others, it was
decided that we put in nomination a
county ticket and that there be mass
convention called for that purpose at
this place on Saturday, September Is,
1882. The following resolution was
offered and carried unanimously.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting that the leading editorial in
the Friday issue of the Republican
headed 1.-The New Parties, - is a mis-
representation and a SANDER upon the
union labor party, and is characteristic
of the editor in the treatment of the
labor party, and is deserving of the Sc
verest censure by that party.

BE JUST.

Poor Cleveland. He gets it on all
sides. This mornings Republican
hauls him over the Goals because he Ere
fused to visit st. Louis because the g.
4. II. was to hold a convention there
at the same time, alleging that they
might insult or do him harm" If re-
publican papers can find nothing better
than such stuff as this to base depreci-
atory articles of the president upon
they better keep silent, as such slush
must, in the end, rebound to his bene-
fit because of its manifest unjustness.
1t is but a few weeks ago that the Re
publican, as we'll as nearly every other
republican newspaper, was berating
him to the best of their ability because
he had signified his intention of attend
ing, and now because he has taken their
advice he gets it worse than ever. This
is not only ungenerous and unjust, but,
what is a great deal worse in the eyes
of politicians in general, it is extremely
bad policy, as the American people are
essentially lovers of fair play.

Is Your wife A Beggar.

was conversiug the other evening
with young married man of my ac-
quaintance, writes Boston correspon-
ent of the Pittsburg Dispatch, on q
subject which has recently attracted
some attention in the newspapers and
overwhelmingly, the financial re-
latiOns that should exist between hus-
band and wife. The ideas he ex-
pressed were SO strikingly original that
l can not forbear to quote them. Said
he: Before | abandoned the condition
of bachelorhood l had made up my
mind, from extended observations. that
the average husband was a pig. l did
not wish to be n pig myself, and so l
determined to pursue in everything
course precisely the reverse of that
followed by the average husband. The
average husband makes great fuss if
he is requested to do an Grand Ac-
cordingly make point of asking my
wife before l go to my office every
morning for a list of commissions,
which execute with the utmost care.
The average husband at home DULLES
the woman, frets like a year-old infant
over everything that does not suit him,
and makes his family unhappy. l try
to do just the opposite. The average
husband dolcs out his money to his
fore, give my wife every cent | earn,
and she makes me an allowance for
pocket money.
''For it seems to me-" continued this
eccentric young man, THAT the notion
entertained by the average husband
concerning his wife's rights in the
family purse is as wrong as wrong can
be. In sober truth he thinks she has
not any. He supports the family, and
for the money he generously gives her
she should be duly grateful. Now, in
nay opinion, this is a false assumption.
As rule, she does as much to support
the family as he does, and l can very
easily prove it. Take my own case as
an example. We live very comforta-
bly,, although our means are not suffi-
cient to employ more than one
domestic. But if / had no wife Ishould
have to engage housekeeper, with an
under servant, and it would cost me
nearly twice as much to keep up my
little establishment as it does now; in
fact, / could not live on my in
come. Thus, you see, that my wife is
equally with myself producer of
values, She makes as much money
as but in another form. I enjoy a
share of what she produces. Is she,
then, not entitled to share Of what /
produce? What l have said is SIM
ply intended to cover the case of the
average husband, who is a pig. Ger
tainly no gentleman who deserves the
name will force his wife to beg for any
thing he has to give, whether he has
right to it or not.
Now, did anybody ever hear of such
an absurd young man as thisP

ELMwOoD SPRINGS, Col, Aug. 3d.
The most heroic act of the battle. aside
from the general bravery of the troops,
should be credited to an Uncompahgre
Indian known as Gus" He had a
squaw and a pappoose when the battle
began, and in the first rush they be-
came separated, and in the course of
the first half hour were more than a
mile from him down the ravine. The
poor creature, with her little babe
clasped in her arms, was screaming and
running wildly about, terrified beyond
description. Although the battle was
raging fiercely, heput spurs to his pony
and dashed down the ravine in the face
of perfect storm of bullets. Reach
ing his Squaw, he leaned over and pulled
her to the horse and gailoped half
mile further on with his burden, and
after placing her on the ground out of
danger, rode back to the top of the
bluff. When he reached the summit
he was seen to reel, and moment
later fell dead.
